 That we may emphasize and clearly
 explain the relation the kidneys sustain 10 the general health, and how much IS | dependsnt upon them, we propose, met | aphorically speaking, to take one from
 the human body, place in the wash
 bowl before us, and examine 1t for the
 public benefit.
 You will imagine that we have before
 us a body shaped like a bean, smooth | and glistening. about four inches Nh | length, two in width and one in thick
 ness. It ordinarily weighs m the adult
 male about five ounces, but IS someWhat | lighter in the female. small organ you say. But understand, the body or | the average size man contains about | len quarts Of blood, Qf rtjch erery drop passes through these alters or SsEfTs, es | they may be called, mGEg times q dag,
 as often as the heart, making complete revolution in three minutes. From me | blood they separate the waste material, working away steadily night and day, | sleeping CT waking, tirUless as the heart | itself, and fully of as much importance; | removing impurities from siXty-tive gct- | Ions of Hood Cdch hour, or about forty nine barrels each day, or 9,l25 hogs | heads a yearl What wonder that the | Kidneys can last any length of time under this prOdigious strain, treated and
 neglected as they are?
 We slice this delicate organ open | lengthwise with our knife and will rough iy describe it's interior:
 We find it tO be of q reddish-brOwn color, sOtt and easily torn, filed with hundreds Oi little tubes, short and thresd-like, starting from the arteries, ending in little tuft about midway from the outside opening of a cavity or con siderable size, which IS called the pelyls, CT, roughly speaking, sack, which IS
 for the purpose of holding the water to further undergo purification before 1t passes down from here into the ureters, and so on to the outside of the body. These little tubes are the filters which do their work automatically, and -tght bere is rhsrs ths disedss cf the kidHsy trst Jsgins.
 Doing the vast amount of work which they are obliged to, from the slightest
 irregularitv in our habits, from cold, from high living, from Stimulants or a thousand and one other causes which occur every day, they become somewhat weakened in their nerve force.
 What is the result? Congestion or stoppsge of the current of blood in the small blood vessels surrounding them, which become blocked, these delicate membranes are irritated; inflammation is set up, then pus Is formed, which col lects in the pelvis or sac; the tubes are at first partially, and soon are totally, unable t6 do their work The pelvic sac goes on distendiDg with this cOrrup- ton, pressing upon the blood vessels.
 All this time, remember, the blood, which Is entering the kidneys to be ti!- tered, is pGssi,,g through hjs teTTibts. dis- g,sting pVs, for 1t cannot take any other route!
 Stop and think of it for a moment. Do you realize the importance, nay tbe vital necessity, of having the kidneys in order? Can you expect when they are diseased or Obstructed, no matter how little, that you can have pure blood Gnd escape dissassf It would bc just as req sonable to expect, ii a pest-house were set across Broadway and countless thou | sands were compelled 10 go through it's presidential doors, and escape from cOnta- zion and disease, as for one to expect the blood to escape pollution when con stantly running through a diseased kid ney.
 Now, what is the result? Why, that the blood takes up and deposits this poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every inch of muscle, tissue. flesh and bone, from your head to your feet. And whenever, from hereditary influence or othewise, some part of the body IS weaker than another, a countless train of diseases is established, such as consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia, | where there is a delicate stomach; nervousness, insanity, paralysis or heart | disease in those who have weak nerves. |
 The heart must soon feel the effects Of ths | poison, 0s q requires pare blood Co kseD f in l right GctCn. lt increases it's stroke in | number and force to compensate for the natural stimulus wanting, in it's en- | deavOr Co crowd tho impure blood | through theis obstruction, causing pain, | palpitatiOn, or an out-Of-breath feeling. l Unnatural as this forced labor Is, the | heart must soon falter, becoming weaker and weaker until one day it st1,ieuhJ | stops, and death fror. apparent "heart | disease" is the verdict
 But the medical profession, learned | and dignifed, call these diseases by high sounding names. treat them alone, and | patients die, for the arteries are cCrr1iHq | sl0g deah tO he G9ecfsd parts, constantly adding fuel brought from these suppurat- ing, pus-laden kidneys which here in our wash-bowl are very putrefactiOn itself, .N krsN. .aNsT n
 But this IS not all the kidneys have to do; for you must remember that each adult takes about seven pounds of nOuriShment every twenty-four hours to supply the waste of the body which is constantly going on, a waste equal to the quantity taken. This. too, the | kidneys have to separate from the blood with all other decOmpOsing matter.
 But you say, "N Ny kidneys are all right. l have no pain in the back. Mistaken man. People die oi kidney disease of 90 bad a character that the organs are rotten, and yet they have HCrsr 'herc had q pGiH or dH Gchsi
 Why Because the disease begins. as We have shown, in the interior of the kidneys, where hsrs are fsu nsrUss feeling 10 convey the sensation of pain. Why this is so we may never know.
 When you consider their great work. the delicacy of their structure, the ease with which they are deranged, can you wonder at the ill-health of our men and women2 Health and long life cannot be expected when so vital an organ is impaired. No wonder some writers say we are degenerating. Don't you see the great, the extreme importance of keeping this machinery in working orderE Could the finest engine do even a fractional part of this work, without attention from the engineer Don't you see how dangerous this hidden disease Il! 1t IS lurking about us constantly, without giving any indication of it's presence.
 The most skillful physicians cannot detect It at times, for the kidnsys them sstres eaHHot be sIdminsd by any means which We have at our command Even | an analysis of the water, chemically and mlicrosc0pically, reveals nothing definite m many cases, even when the kidnevs l
